A SINGULAR BATTLE.
Vast Armies Engaged I'm Mortar
Combat without weapons.

Vast Armies Engaged I'm Mortal
Combat without weapons.
The whole country lying 10 the nortn
of Mexico was at the time of the arrival
of the Spaniards almost unknown to the
Mexicans. The northern confines OF the
Aztec empire extended but little beyond
the great valley of Mexico and there
Aztec civilization terminated.
The mountainous regions beyond were
inhabited by various tribes of wild saw
ages, known by the name of Chichimecs.
Dependent on the chase for their SUBJ
sistencs, these people had no settled
dwelling place, but roamed over vast
unknown territory, from time 10 time
making inroads into the rich districts of
the south.
In his second volume of the "History
of Mexico" Hubert Howe Bancroft gives
an interesting account of perhaps the
most singular battle recorded in the his
tory of any country, one of the engage.
ments of a thirty years war waged
against the savages. On the 25th of
July, l54S, the Chichimecs to the mum.
ber of $4,000 were posted on hill,
which is known as Sangremal. Con.
spicuous among their chiefs were Wolf
and Coyote, as cunning as they were
strong. The Mexican forces entirely
surrounded the hill. The Chichimecs
possessed the advantage in regard to po-
sition; the Mexicans in regard to
weapons.
%, you brave men, perohea upon a
hill" cried San Louis de Montanez, the
Mexican commander. "Come down and
fight if you are not afraid"
"Very fair, no doubt, you renegades,
and dogs of Spaniards," returned
Coyote; "lay aside your borrowed wesp.
ons and we will come down."
"Wild, and uncouth, and beastly as
you are," said San Louis, 1--WE are
match for you with no weapons at all.
See! we will lay them aside, and you
can heap yours beside them and place |
guard over both. Come on!".
And SO it was agreed. And at it they
went with hands, feet, and teeth only,
with the understanding that the con.
quered should remain subject to the VIC.
tors. The struggle which followed was
as savage and sanguinary as the nature
of it was exceptional, and lasted from
early dawn to sunset. As exhausted
combatants sank to the ground, others
pressed tiercely forward. Among the mu.
tilated forms and blood. covered faces it
was often impossible to distinguish friend
from foe. Of the ferocious lighters,
Wolf and Coyote were conspicuous for
their strength, and when, late in the
day, victory was with the invaders, they
alone escaped. shouting their defiance
with threats to return In half moon
with fresh force.
"Civilizatiou, observes the historian,
"calls it progress as more effective death
dealing implements are invented; may it
not as truthfully be called progress
when all weapons for the butchery of
human beings are laid aside"

THE OTTO CHILDREN
Returned to their Father after
Five Years.

John William Otto yesterday after
noon swore out writ of habeas corpus
on behalf of his two daughters, Matilda
and Anue Otto. The writ was heard by
Judge O'Melveny last evening, when it
appeared that some five years ago the wife
of John William Otto ran away with
Charles Lohmuller, taking with her the
two small children, then babies. Mr..
Otto then obtained divorce from his
wife and she died, leaving the children
in the care of Lohmuller. After hearing
the evidence last night Judge O'Melveny
awarded the children to their father,
but as he was strange to them they
strongly objected to going with him and
raised their childish voices in protest.
Their cries attracted quite large
crowd on the street in front of the court.

girls were carried away by their father.

The Divine promise to Abram was that he
should become the head of a great, prosper
GUS and powerful nation, that through the
influence of his numerous posterity and their
divinely prosperous nation, he should be-
come great blessing to the world. Abra-
ham, the name by which he is best known,
means, "father of a multitude" and is sig
nificant of this promised blessing which was
realized in the ''people of Israel" the chosen
nation, through which GoD has purposed to
bless mankind. This Divine promise to
Abraham is a renewal of the implied promise
made to Eve in the Garden of Eden, when it
was declared that the seed of the woman
should bruise the serpent's head (chapter iii.
15), The lineage of Abraham is directly
traced from the first pair through Seth, Noah
and Shem. Abraham and his posterity thus
become the elect seed of the woman, through
whom the effect of sin shall be overcome,
and mankind reclaimed to obedience and
righteousness, the promised blessings of

fulfilled. The prophecy that he should be
blessing to others is testified by the reverence
in which his name has been held by great
multitudes, not only by his own descendants,
but by those of otLer ancestry-by Jews, Mo-
hammedans, and Christians. We may con-

blessing of world through the Holy One of
his family. He who led Abraham to great

CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND HAY
FEVER.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that
they are due to the presence OF living
parasites in the lining membrane of the
nose and eustachian tubass+ Microscopic
research, however, has proved this to be
a fact, and the result Is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever
are cured in from one to three simple sp-
Dlications made at home. A pamphlet ex-
planning this new treatment is sent free

That Horse Tanning Secret.

Apropos of "Horse Whispering CORE
spondent points out that the mystery is very
simply explained by Borrow. Here are his
words in the ''Romany Rye" az knew cob
in Ireland that could be driven TO a state Of
kicking madness by particular word used by
particular person in particular tone; but
that word was connected with a very painful
operation which had been performed upon
him by that individual, who had frequently
employed it at a certain period while the ami
NAL had been under his treatment The same
cob could be soothed in a moment by another
word used by the same individual in a very
different kind of tone-the word 'deagh-
blasda,' or sweet tasted. Some time after the
operation. while the cob was yet under his
hands, the fellow-who was what the Irish
call fairy smith-had done all he could to
soothe the creature, and had at last succeeded
by giving it gingerbread buttons, of which
the cob became passionately fond. 1nvari-
ably, however, before giving it a button he
said 'Deaghblasda,' with which word the cob
by degrees associated an idea of unmixed en-
joyment So, if he could rouse the cob to
madness by the word which recalled the tor
ture to its remembrance, he could easily
soothe it by the other word, which the cob
knew would be instantly followed by the
button, which the smith never failed To give
| him after using the word 'deaghblasda '"--,St
